Packs a better sting than you would think.
Killer bees don’t always make for the best ‘monsters’ in the horror genre, but this British thriller is an exception.Pop singer vacations on an island with a local bee keeper, while a mysterious swarm of bees has caused the death of a woman.
The Deadly Bees isn’t as dull a film as some make it out to be. It has some nice high-powered shock sequences even though the bee FX aren’t always convincing. The makeup FX aren’t bad, namely the great work on an ill-fated Catherine Finn. The story is a decent mystery, based upon H.W. Herd’s novel A Taste for Honey. The direction of Freddie Francis is pretty good, the sets are well constructed and the art direction is excellent. There’s also a great dramatic music score to boot.
The cast is quite good. Suzanna Leigh is a decent heroine, but it’s really leading actors Guy Doleman and Frank Finlay that turn in the best performances as some feuding, menacing bee keepers.
All around not bad. Certainly the best killer bee movie around and an underrated work.
*** out of ****
An Adequate Grade-Bee Movie
“Vicki Robbins” (Suzanna Leigh) is a British pop singer who has a nervous collapse due to her hectic schedule and is sent by her doctor to a remote place called “Seagull Island” for some rest and relaxation. When she gets to the local hotel she meets the owner by the name of “Ralph Hargrove” (Guy Doleman) who seems rather aloof and prefers to spend his time tending his bee hives. So when a dog, that Ralph didn’t like, is killed by bees Ralph’s wife immediately thinks he had something to do with it–and so does Vicki. Then when Ralph’s wife is also killed by swarms of bees Vicki becomes even more convinced. But proving it is another matter entirely. Now rather than reveal any more of this film I will just say that it was an adequate “Grade-Bee movie” for the most part which seemed to concentrate more on mystery than horror or suspense. Naturally, as one might expect from a movie produced in the mid-60s, the special effects were rather elementary compared to today’s standards. But the acting was okay and all things considered it managed to fill the time satisfactorily enough. That said, I rate it as about average.
